Have all of the great technology companies already been created? Not even close, insists Steve Ballmer, Microsoft’s CEO. The only thing for certain in the future of technology is its dynamism, and that the names and the players are always changing. Ballmer points to smart displays and better human-computer interaction as future areas of exploration. He credits software with having impact on the future of energy, environmental science, and other fields.

Steve makes a really good point.  In order to use computers, we need to speak their language.  I agree that the most versatile and permeating technologies being created are the ones that bridge the gap between human intution and the language of computers.
